Rezensionen

"In a concise and masterful way, Iain Quinn has provided a portrait of the celebrated Swiss American musician Rudolph Ganz, as well as an overview of the attempts that Ganz and others made to standardize The Star-Spangled Banner. It is an engaging story of history, music, patriotism, and politics."
